(Yes, I'm still on the list-- just swamped at the moment :) )

I agree with points 2 and 3: letting Great Elementals aid sorcery and defensive
sorcery is only fair, IMHO.

Point 1, Great Elementals vs. lesser ones, is something I'd just have to try
in my game to get a feel for... I have a hard time extrapolating game balance
purely from the numbers :)

Hm.. I think that this depends on how difficult the GM decides to make the
Astral quests, right? Now, as for me... hmmm... nope, the quest is payment
enough, the way I envision it; ever tried to summon a force-5 Greater Storm
Spirit? I have.... needed a diversion, y'see... and I wasn't up to much
for a while after (serious physical wound, and went into it with stun damage).

The Storm sure did wonders for that Aztechnology pyramid, though... :)
